Good point, Matthew, but in this situation, we are special. For all other "normal-esque" contracts, of course the Producer/Management has to be involved. In our case, the entire production is 5 actors, the director, the fight director and me. [Our "Producer" is a guy from IMG Artists who knows as much about acting as how to turn water into wine. They are giving us the $35 for the FC, but have no idea what one is.] In the end, I said I would be more comfortable if the actor took it on, and it was announced today (by the Director) that said actor will do the task. He was fine with it, and we're chugging along on Day 2.
